(a) EBITDA does not represent an accounting item or cash flow for the periods in question. Therefore, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of net income (loss), an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a source of liquidity. Since EBITDA is not an accounting item, companies may make adjustments, which means that the definition of EBITDA may not be comparable with the definitions adopted by other companies.

Net revenue grew by 24% to R$1,563.9 million in 1Q11, versus R$1,260.6 million in 1Q10. The main factor of this growth was the expansion in the subscriber base.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) was R$451.5 million in 1Q11, versus R$369.2 million in 1Q10.

The Company ended 1Q11 with Net Income of R$106.5 million, for growth of 132% from R$45.9 million in 1Q10.
